John C.
Martin
John Martin founded Martin Law, PLLC to represent Florida contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers the way they have always deserved to be represented: by an attorney who understands the industry, not just the law. He grew up on job sites — his father ran a drywall company, and John spent school breaks working alongside the crews. That background is not a footnote. It is the reason his clients get direct answers instead of hedged opinions.
His practice covers the full scope of Florida construction law: contract review and drafting, construction liens and bond claims, change order disputes, Notice to Owner compliance, termination and default claims, Chapter 558 construction defect matters, and DBPR licensing and license defense. He also serves as outside general counsel for contractors and subcontractors who want an attorney in their corner before the next dispute, not after.
He is as comfortable in a courtroom as he is walking a job site. Clients work directly with John. Not a case manager. Not a hand-off. The attorney.
